Google Drive integration

Google Drive files and folders can be linked and embedded in intranet pages, and searched from the intranet using ThoughtFarmer's Cloud drive integration features. To use the Google Drive Card or other Google Drive integration features such as linking and search, Google Drive integration must first be set up. Follow the instructions below to set up Google Drive integration.

Enable Google Drive integration

Under the Google Drive tab, click the toggle beside Google Drive integration to turn it ON.

Click in the Google Drive Client ID box and paste the Client ID Value that you copied when configuring Google APIs in the instructions above.

Click Save beside the Google Drive Client ID box.

The Reference Name box will contain a default name for the Google Drive. This is the name users will see when they are accessing cloud drive integration features for Google Drive on the intranet. If you wish to change the reference name, click the pencil icon to edit, type a new reference name in the box and click Save.

If you want to allow users to search Google Drive from the intranet, click the Google Drive search toggle to turn it ON.

When Google Drive search is turned ON, another option appears that controls the maximum number of Google Drive search results that will appear in the Find-as-you-type search results. To edit the number of results, click the pencil icon, enter the new number and click Save. (To learn more about cloud drive search, see Search cloud drives.)

Google Drive integration is now enabled.

Items to note

Google may take some time to update their servers, so the Google Drive integration may not work immediately.

When logging in, users will see the security warning, pictured below. To log in, users need to click Advanced > Go to [Google App name] (unsafe). Google has instructions for removing this warning.
